“If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” – Isaac Newton

Shoulders of Giants are a four-piece alternative rock band from Tilburg, the Netherlands. As the name suggests, they thoroughly acknowledge the heritage of rock giants – both past and present – yet the different musical backgrounds of the band’s members have merged into their own signature modern rock sound. Inspiration is derived from the likes of Tool, Pearl Jam and Foo Fighters and has resulted in heavy riffing and hints of metal and progressive rock, with strong melodies and song writing at its core. The lyrics tell a personal yet relatable story of the darker episodes in our lives.

Shoulders of Giants was founded in 2012, when the band members met during their studies at the Rock Academy in Tilburg; it immediately proved to be their ultimate creative outlet. They have since released two EPs and one full-length album: At Wits’ End, the latter of which was financed with the help of fans by means of a crowdfunding campaign, which raised €10.000,-. They have accumulated plenty of live experience as well, with highlights including sold-out release shows and a gig at Camden Rocks in London. This gig was earned when Ace (guitar player for Skunk Anansie) elected them as winners of a band contest stating:

“Shoulders Of Giants is a great overall package. They look cool and coordinated as a band, with a good modern image. Good songs and sound.”

Shoulders of Giants are currently working on new material and tour dates will be announced soon. Be sure to follow them on their website and on social media:
